Thu, 28 Feb 2019 07:09:17 +0000https://www.certifiedtranslationservices.co.uk/blog/?p=880Translation is a general concept which applies to all the three fields of translation, websites, web applications and software applications. However from the point of view of translation studies there are few similarities and differences between these fields.

For businesses that are looking to break into an international market, one of the best marketing and communication solution is Website localisation. Software translation is required by companies that want to launch their software in a global marketplace.

Every business should ensure that their audience can browse their website and other resources in a language which they understand and easily connects with. A business that fails to communicate with their target audience in their own language will fall short when it comes to attracting new consumers.

Website translation vs. Software translation

Common aspects in website and software translation include aspects such as user interfaces, front end text integration in programming code, file formats such as HTML and other common mark up languages, which are extensively used on the Web and also used in help files of software.

However factors that set them apart are the global nature of websites, the public character of Internet and the broad scope of websites. When compared with software applications, websites touch almost every aspect of our lives, whereas software are developed for specific purpose or application. Thus software translation and localization require much stronger technical background than website translation or localization. On the other hand because of the technicalities involved, translating web applications is also much similar to translating software applications.

Multilingual websites are particularly important for many organizations and companies such as international companies, export-oriented companies, international organizations and for web authors targeting international readers.

Static Website vs. Dynamic Websites

All websites are digital documents and can be either static or dynamic. Static websites are developed primarily using markup languages like HTML and CSS. Whereas dynamic websites are designed using HTML and CSS, but the content is displayed dynamically using programming languages like PHP, ASP, Ruby on Rails, Python or any other web programming language. In addition to textual content there is multimedia content also available on the web.

While translating websites we have to ensure that the digital format, which includes the mark up and programming codes, remain preserved and only the content that appears in the front end is translated. In addition translated websites should ensure that users are either automatically re-directed or can easily access the translated versions of the websites.

Wed, 27 Feb 2019 22:41:02 +0000https://www.certifiedtranslationservices.co.uk/blog/?p=869While applying for a UK visa you will usually have to attach many supportive documents related to your personal, finances or education. Please remember that there are different types of UK Visas and the purpose of your visit will determine the type of Visa you will require and accordingly the documents you will have to submit might also vary.

According to the Government of United kingdom, all such supportive documents should be originally written in either English or Welsh languages. If they are written in any other language, then they must be accompanied by a full English or Welsh translation, which can be independently verified by the Home Office. Further all such translations should be certified translations.

List of supportive documents that are often submitted along with a UK Visa application

There are many supportive documents that have to be provided along with your UK Visa application. Some documents are compulsory while others are not. List of important documents that are often attached to most successful visa applications include documents such as:

Valid travel document (national passport or other document that allows the holder to travel internationally)

Previous travel documents/passports, which show previous travel.

Financial documents showing that you have sufficient funds available. These must clearly show that you have access to the funds, such as (a) Bank statements, (b) Building society book, (c) Proof of earnings such as a letter from employer confirming employment details (start date of employment, salary, role, company contact details), and, (d) where a third party (who is either in the UK or who will be legally in the UK at the time of your visit) is providing financial support to you e.g. a business, a friend or a relative, documents to show they have sufficient resources to support you in addition to themselves and any dependent family should be provided.

Confirmation of legal residence, if you are not a national of the country in which you are applying or your right to reside there is not included in your passport.

Details of employment or studies where you have stated in your application that you are either employed or in full-time studies. This could include (a) a letter from your employer on company headed paper, detailing your role, salary and length of employment, and, (b) a letter from your education provider, on headed paper, confirming your enrollment and leave of absence. Get your education documents translated by the best translation company in UK.

If self employed: business registration documents confirming the business owner’s name and the date the business started trading.

Business activities – where you are coming to the UK in order to undertake activities relating to your occupation/employment outside the UK you should submit documents showing what you will be doing in the UK, including any letters from inviting organisations. For example, (a) Any business activities, e.g. letter from your employer outlining the reason for your visit, who you will be meeting and details of any payment/expenses, and, (b) For performances and entertainment visitors, whether you work in this area as a professional or amateur , and what and where you will be performing.

If you are under 18 years it is strongly recommended that you submit the following information as otherwise it may delay consideration of your application, a Birth Certificate or legal document (such as adoption papers) showing the relationship between you and your parent or guardian. If the concerned document is in Thai, then please ensure that you are attaching a proper certified legal translation as well.

If travelling unaccompanied or with someone other than your parent(s) you should provide, (a) A signed letter from your parent(s) confirming details of anyone accompanying you, and details of care and accommodation arranged in the UK, and, (b) A copy of your parent(s) or legal guardian’s biographical page of their passport, which includes their signature and passport number if your parent(s) do not have a passport then you must provide another official document which bears their signature.

Documents you should not send unless specifically requested

if you are applying as a family/group you do not need to provide multiple copies of the same documents

bank statements or letters issued more than 1 year before the date of application

Properly implemented closed captions and subtitles are well-timed around the action, easy on the eye and delivered at a comfortable reading speed for the audience. They don’t detract from the viewer’s experience but help to make the on-screen messages more accessible to a wider audience.

Subtitling is quicker and more cost effective than dubbing and voiceover, especially when translating into multiple languages, and we can offer fast turnaround of translated text at competitive rates.

We are on a mission to make online broadcasts more accessible and truly international. To this end we are keen to encourage channel owners and content providers to translate their work into as many languages as possible. The first and most important step in achieving this is to caption your online work in your own language. Speech recognition tools are advanced but have not yet achieved the levels of accuracy required to produce a legible transcript on their own. Online translation tools will at least have a chance of some success when reading their input from a human written transcript.

When implemented correctly YouTube captions are read and indexed by both YouTube and Google just like text based web pages. Captions are treated as a full, accurate textual representation of your video.It is important to note that YouTube’s automatic captions are NOT indexed by Google or YouTube due to their inaccuracy.High quality professional captions are the quickest and best way to take instant advantage of SEO benefits and rapidly gain more viewers, subscribers and generate interest in your channel.

Accessibility

For too long hearing loss has been ignored, overlooked and disregarded despite the millions who live with its consequences.There are more than 11 million people in the UK with some form of hearing loss, 1 in 6 of the population. By 2031 this figure is expected to rise to 14.1 million people or nearly 20% of the population of the UK.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 28 million of the 190 million Brazilians have hearing problems, a number corresponding to 14% of the Brazilian population.In the United States About 20% of Americans, 48 million people, report some degree of hearing loss .By the age of 65, one out of three people has a hearing loss.

60% of the people with hearing loss are either in the work force or in educational settings.

Studies indicate that these numbers will only increase.

By not captioning your videos correctly you are effectively excluding many people from your channel and you are losing out on thousands of viewers, potential customers and a huge business opportunity.
